A Guerra de Josafá

Go, Jehoshaphat! Go, Jehoshaphat!

Moabites prepare to face
All who were with King Jehoshaphat
They come armed and certain they will win
For they were trained to never lose

And they brought the news to King Jehoshaphat
A great multitude is coming from across the sea
What shall we do? If we fight, we will not win
They have weapons and soldiers, we will perish!

But Jehoshaphat proclaims a fast
No one eats, no one drinks until God answers us
And on their knees, in the midst of the congregation
King Jehoshaphat began to say

Oh, Lord, God of our fathers
Are You not God in heaven?
For You rule over all the kingdoms of the Earth
And in Your hand is strength and power

In us, Lord
In us there is no strength against this great multitude
Coming against us
And we do not know what to do
But our eyes are on You

And after all the people began to worship
A glory appeared in the congregation
God took Jaaziel and began to speak
Listen, all Judah, to the voice of God

And Jaaziel said
Listen, all Judah and you, inhabitants of Jerusalem
And you, oh King Jehoshaphat
Thus says the Lord

Do not fear
Do not be dismayed because of this great multitude
For the battle is not yours, but God's
In this battle, you will not have to fight
Stand still, stand firm
And see the salvation of the Lord with you!

And God Himself decreed
Call the singers and put them in front to praise
Store all the weapons
I will act differently
Your work today is to worship

While they praised
God set ambushes against the enemies
While they praised
God delivered the people from danger
While they praised
God made the army self-destruct
And how beautiful when the Almighty begins to act

It was the people praising and God warring
Jehoshaphat winning, the people triumphing
And the enemies all confused, begin to perish
No Moabites, no Ammonites
No one resists, no one persists
Jehovah in the war, no one hinders
You will win!

You will win, you will win
God is in the war, you will win
Start praising, store all the weapons
You will win!

No Moabites, no Ammonites
No one resists, no one persists
Jehovah in the war, no one hinders
You will win!

You will win, you will win
God is in the war, you will win
Start praising, store all the weapons
You will win!

No Moabites, no Ammonites
No one resists, no one persists
Jehovah in the war, no one hinders
You will win!
(You will win) you will win!
